ALBANY - New York City is stepping up security measures after Monday's failed terrorist attack.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the state will be increasing security as a precautionary measure after the terrorist attack in the Port Authority Terminal that led to the arrest of one disgruntled man who failed to detonate a bomb, injuring three other people.

"Today we are reminded yet again that the principles of freedom and democracy that New York represents have made us a target for those who seek to disrupt our way of life," Cuomo said in a statement. "Out of an abundance of caution, we are stepping up security measures at high-profile locations and transportation hubs while the investigation progresses. We will remain vigilant."

There will be more security personal around major airports, train and bus stations, bridges and tunnels and other highly trafficked areas around the city, Cuomo and city officials said.

There will also be an increase in step-on train patrols, bag inspections and surveillance, while state police and the National Guard have doubled the number of personnel assigned to transportation facilities in New York City.

That includes increased patrols and surveillance for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, including the Long Island Rail Road and Metro North.

Police canine teams and units with heavy weapons will provide extra protection, including at Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal.

The governor said the increased security measures were just precautionary and not based on any ongoing threat.

Suspect Akayed Ullah, 27, was taken into custody after the incident, and was in the hospital with burns and other injuries, police said.

“I encourage everyone to go about their business and live their lives without fear,” Cuomo said.
